I'm looking for a good Hard Disk Repair program,all I see in google is data
recovery
software,and some of them very expensive.
 
What exactly do you mean by HD repair? If you are talking about your HD is
corrupted and you want to start all over again then the simplest way is to
FORMAT it and it will wipe everything for you.

Also, windows have some diagnostic tools like scanning the HD for bad
sectors or even defragging the HD.

Please clarify what do you want to do.

I used a program called "HDD Regenerator"(free trial) to check a 200gig
drive
the drive is blank but I want to use it as a second drive.The compter kept
telling
that the drive had bad sectors.CHDSK didn't find anything,The HDD
Regenerator did,but I have to buy the program,which will end up costing more
than the drive.Thanx for your response
to repair the defective sectors.

The only software which remotely resembles hard drive repair, is Spinrite.
This article may give you some idea as to whether the concept has any
merit.

Though Spinrite is a good application

it costs more than a new drive

so unless you run a computer shop it would hardly be worth it


besides...I'd never trust a refurbished drive...
it's not worth the gamble

This is a very simple matter for Windows XP to deal with. I suggest explore
what Windows tools can do for your HD because checking it is pretty simple
and very reliable. If it can't be "repaired" by windows, I bet it can't be
repaired by any other commercial packages either.
